Greetings Everyone, The technician at the University of Alberta (who is currently coaching my tuning) has been asked by the Department of Music if he is interested in teaching a course in piano technology or a related topic. Rather than a general course, our discussions have narrowed down the potential course to essentially mirror our work preparing me for the PTG aural tuning test. This would be offered through the university extension, but students would be required to possess a membership in a piano technicians'organization (PTG or CAPT, up here in Canada). Has anyone done something of this nature before, and if so, what type of curriculum was developed? Over the summer, the tech and myself are going to put something together for the winter session, and any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. (BTW, I ended up passing a dry run at the tuning test, under three RPT's, but lack of CTE's up here means I'll have to test again. At least the teaching worked!) Thanks! 8-) Rob Rob Kiddell C.A.P.T.
